Regarding the assassination of the new pope during the inauguration ceremony, the Church of Light issued a gag order, because it is not only related to the face of the new pope, but also the identity of the assassin is related to the face of the entire Bright faith.

So much so that within the inquisition, there is only one word for the ordinance on this matter: kill.

If the clergy leaked it, they would be sent directly to the inquisition, and those nobles, after the black shadow was personally sent out of the church, naturally patted their chests and promised that they would definitely keep their mouths shut.

In the entire assassination**, except for Sophia's parents, only one cardinal was slightly injured because he tried to stop them, and was finally affected by the quaint self-explosion.

Sophia's mother is undergoing church therapy, while her father never woke up.

In the room, Sophia threw herself into Alena's arms, crying silently, while Alena did not say a word.

"Why? Why should I invite them over!"

Sophia clutched Alena's brand-new papal robes, her eyes red.

He ...... They just want to protect you......"

"I don't need their protection! I'm not the little girl I used to be, why do I need their protection, why?!" Sophia's voice gradually weakened, and her palm slowly slipped down.

"I don't need them to protect me...... Not required...... I'm not...... Little Girl Up...... I'm not ......."

Alena didn't say anything, just quietly held her shoulders and kept stroking her forehead.

Alena didn't count how long it was, only when it was slightly light outside, Sophia stopped sobbing.

She hugged Sophia in her arms, the wisps of light in her palms flickered, and she comforted her heart, "Sophia, believe me, your father will definitely enter the kingdom of God, the gods are above, and no child will be wronged." ”

Sophia's body froze, like a drowning person having found the last straw, and she suddenly got up, her eyes red as if they were about to drip blood.

Sophia shook Alena's shoulder vigorously, "Yes, yes, gods, the god of light must have a way, there must be a way, yes!"

With that, Sophia broke free of Alena's arm and staggered out of the room, but Alena could only quickly follow and run out.

"Sophia!"

Outside the door, Alena's hand stopped in the air, watching Sophia's speed get faster and faster, running towards the Hall of Light.

Until Sophia's figure was lost in sight, Alena's worried expression instantly sank, her eyes began to become indifferent, and her palms that stopped in the air were put down, and they were clenched together.

Beside her, a man dressed in black stepped out of the shadows and saluted her: "Pope." ”

The chief inquisitor of the Inquisition, the poisoned dagger hidden in the darkness of the Church of Light, was the man who crucified Minho to the ground with a single blow in the Hall of Light yesterday.

"How is Sophia's mother?" Alena's voice was cold and unfamiliar.

"The cardinal is in treatment and his condition has stabilized, but he needs to recuperate for a while and can return to normal. ”

"Where's Minho?"

"Minho did receive an invitation from Guya, but he didn't admit that he was with Guya, and ...... We found a faint ...... in the quaint corpses Traces of the sorcery of the Church of the Anemo. ”

"Wind!God!Sect!Will!" Alena's arm trembled slightly, and she gritted her teeth and murmured word by word.

At this moment, Alena, who is already the Pope of Light, seems to have returned to seven or eight years ago, at the stake of Sears Street, under the protection of light, those former teenagers and girls are facing the Aeolus Church.

The softened eyes instantly returned to indifference, Alena looked up at the nascent sun in the sky, and after a moment of silence, she commanded the man in black:

"Before they can leave, let the cardinals of the six provinces east of Kaiadir set out at once and head west to the Bead of Pick. ”

"Half of the knights of the six eastern provinces were divided, and they also immediately went to the front. ”

"The Holy Knights were divided into half and marched to Naxi Province to standby, and then transferred two deputy commanders, one to lead the Holy Knights, and one to the front line to lead the Provincial Knights. ”

"Inquisition...... You look at it. ”

The chief referee was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a moment: "Pope, such a large-scale army transfer, the palace ......"

Alena slowly turned her head and looked at this believer who had dedicated herself to darkness for the sake of light, her eyes were like an abyss, and she said calmly:

"Now...... I am the ...... of light."

“...... Do as you wish!"

The Great Hall of Light

Sophia knelt silently in front of the idol, and in front of her, a jade sun was placed on the ground, emitting a faint heat.

Alena gently pushed open the door of the hall, and with worry in her eyebrows, she walked behind Sophia, and at the same time saw the jade sun on the ground.

"Teacher ......"

"It didn't work. Sophia shook her head in despair, "The gods didn't respond to me, and the teacher didn't ......."

"Sophia......

Alena also knelt down and hugged Sophia's shoulder, not knowing how to comfort her best friend, who was talking about the teachings to the believers, but unable to utter a word.

"Sophia, your mother is fine, just recuperate for a while. In the end, Alena could only say that, hoping to bring her a little comfort.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and there were only two of them in the main hall, and the clergy outside the hall silently closed the door outside.

"Alena, I don't think I'm fit to be this cardinal. ”

"No, you're ......"

"Alena. Sophia interrupted for comfort, her voice calm and resolute, "I'm going to the Inquisition!"

"What!?"

Alena let out a low sigh, the Inquisition of the Church of Light is not like the Knights, although they have been hiding in the shadows, they also have the highest casualty rate.

"Sophia, the Inquisition is not that simple, do you know ......?"

"I know. Sophia stood up, looked at the tall statue of light, and turned to walk out of the temple, "That's why I'm going to the Inquisition." ”

Alena knelt on the ground in a daze, and she suddenly felt that her eyes were a little astringent.

......

......

At the camp on the edge of the Elder Canyon, Ferrante wiped his sword in his tent, unable to sleep from the sound of insects chirping at night.

Thinking about the news she got and calculating the time, Alena should have become the Pope yesterday, and Sophia had also become a cardinal.

"Well, when I go back, it's like Alena proposing. ”

Da Da Da ......

The dense sound of horses' hooves and footsteps echoed through the valley not far away, so much so that the ground shook as well.

Ferrante was alert and walked out of the tent with his sword, and the other knights followed inexplicably.

Listening to the gradual approach of the voice, Ferrante's eyebrows were twisted together, and he raised the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly:

"Armor!

As soon as the words fell, everyone hurried back to the tent and began to quickly and methodically put on their armor and take their weapons.

And Ferrante outside also saw the knight scout who was seriously injured and gritted his teeth and insisted on running back.

The horse's hooves stopped, and the knight, covered in blood, fell to the ground, clutching Ferrante's hand: "Tuan...... Regimental Commander, Honoris...... Army...... Touched it......"

Before the words fell, the knight's hand loosened and smashed to the ground.

Ferrante's eyes turned red, and she pursed her lips and closed the knight's eyes.

At this time, the knights of the camp also put on their armor and waited for the battle, and everyone looked at Ferrante who was crouching down in silence, feeling the shaking of the ground.

They were experienced and could quickly realize that even in the canyon, it was impossible to have this kind of power without tens of thousands of people, but they were only more than 300 people......

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

Ferrante stood up and looked back to the east, where the flames were blazing and the sounds of fighting were gradually heard.

That side is the camp of the Imperial Vanguard Legion, because Ferrante They are church cavalry, and there are not many personnel, and Ferrante has always focused on small-scale contact, so they did not camp in the same place as the Imperial ** Regiment.

"But there was also a fight over there, and Honoris wanted to attack the vanguard on both sides, but they didn't expect us to be stationed on this side of the canyon. ”

Thinking of this, Ferrante's eyes widened, and he looked at the knights lined up in an array around him, and shouted:

"One team out! Half of them go to the vanguard corps to report the news! The other half go west and report to the corps headquarters! Quick!"

"Yes!"

When the group left with the order, Ferrante returned to the tent to change his armor, mounted his military horse, and stood quietly in front of the array.

Everyone knew that since a team went back to report the news, they could only stick here.

Since the other party touched up along the canyon, the exit of the canyon is the best interception location, and they must arrive in advance!

"Let's go!" Ferrante snorted and rushed out first.

The knights behind him were silent, but held down the long sword at their waist and followed with the reins.

In front of the array, in the moonlight, fourteen knights rushed out of the array and followed closely behind Ferrante.

Just as they were clad in light and brandishing their swords at the stake of Sears, they followed behind the blond boy.

"Holy Knights of Light!

Each of them had a silent thought in his heart.
